How to Interrogate and Program Transponders
In order to program a transponder you must first locate it and interrogate
(read) it to verify that it is the one you want and to determine its
characteristics. This is referred to as “finding” the transponder.
The Find mode identifies the transponder’s firmware version, which, in
turn, tells the SRP which modes can be used with that transponder.
Using Find Mode
To Find a Transponder
1. Press the MODE button repeatedly until the display shows the “Find
Serial Number” screen:
